I'm Carla Zeus, and today's show puts one high profile subject in the driver's seat.

我是卡拉-宙斯，今天的節目讓一個高調的對象坐在駕駛座上。

Driverless cars.

無人駕駛汽車。

This means autonomous vehicles, cars that do all of the work of handling themselves without any input from people.

這意味著自主汽車，汽車不需要人的任何輸入就能完成所有的處理工作。

Manufacturers worldwide are investing in the technology to make this happen, but right now full automation doesn't exist on American roads, at least not legally.

全世界的製造商都在為實現這一目標而投資技術，但現在美國的道路上還不存在全自動化，至少在法律上不存在。

The carmaker Tesla offers both an autopilot and a full self driving capability package, but it says neither of them actually makes the vehicle fully self operating.

汽車製造商特斯拉同時提供了自動駕駛和完全的自動駕駛能力包，但它表示，這兩者實際上都不能使車輛完全實現自我操作。

Their intended to be used with a completely attentive driver.

他們的目的是與一個完全用心的驅動器一起使用。

The company has investigated a couple incidents in which crashes occurred when the autopilot feature was reportedly enabled.

該公司已經調查了幾起事件，據說在啟用自動駕駛功能時發生了車禍。

So there are concerns about the safety of this technology, and that includes the fact that it's on Lee possible with computers.

Also, privacy advocates have sounded the alarm about your every movement and speed and destination being tracked and logged.

另外，隱私倡導者也敲響了警鐘，你的一舉一動、速度和目的地都會被追蹤和記錄。

Who gets access to that information for today's show?

誰能獲得今天節目的資訊？

Though we're giving you a glimpse of a driverless ideal What could the future look like for a city filled with autonomous vehicles?

雖然我們讓你看到了無人駕駛的理想，但未來充滿自動駕駛汽車的城市會是什麼樣子？

Assuming everything goes as manufacturers and supporters of the technology hope it will, Americans love their cars.

假設一切都如製造商和技術支持者所希望的那樣，美國人喜歡他們的汽車。

Getting my first car was one of the happiest days of my life, and I've loved driving ever since, especially fast cars.

買到第一輛車是我一生中最快樂的日子之一，從那時起我就喜歡上了開車，尤其是快車。

Uh, yeah, that's not actually my car, but hey, look, this is my story, and I can dream if I want Thio.

呃，是的，這其實不是我的車， 但嘿，你看，這是我的故事， 我可以夢想，如果我想Thio。

But what if I'm part of the last generation to get excited about driving a car?

但是，如果我是最後一代對駕駛汽車感到興奮的人之一呢？

Mhm.

嗯

I've spent the past year traveling the country, talking toe entrepreneurs, engineers and test drivers who are building the cars of tomorrow.

我花了一年的時間走遍全國，與正在製造未來汽車的企業家、工程師和試駕員交談。

And when they imagine the future, driving a car isn't part of it.

而當他們想象未來的時候，駕駛汽車並不是其中的一部分。

They envision roads full of cars driven by machines where traffic jams are no more, where the death rate by car accidents drops to zero.

他們設想的道路上都是由機器駕駛的汽車，交通堵塞不復存在，車禍死亡率也降為零。

The end of car ownership as we know it, even to the point of human driving.

我們所知道的汽車所有權的終結，甚至到了人類駕駛的地步。

One day becoming illegal, I asked them all the same thing.

有一天成為非法的，我問他們同樣的事情。

One from our smartphone has one there.

我們的智能手機上有一個有。

Within a minute, we will look back and say, Wow, people own cars to get.

一分鐘之內，我們會回過頭來說，哇，人家自己的車都能買到。

From this point to that point, eliminating car ownership would drastically change the way we shape our cities.

從這一點到那一點，取消汽車所有權將極大地改變我們塑造城市的方式。

The thing I'm most excited about is the ability on the street to reallocate space away from the storage of vehicles.

最讓我興奮的是，街道上可以將車輛存放的空間重新分配出去。

Right now, Carr sit idle, 94.8% of I mean, that's staggering.

現在，卡爾坐在閒置，94.8％的我的意思是，這是驚人的。
